I would like to be able to tell her what to expect at IAH and have a few questions. She is travelling with a US passport.
1. Will she have to collect her bags, clear customs, and then recheck them to Baton Rouge?
2. Is there a separate baggage claim area "inside of secuity"? I assume there must be.
3. Will there ever be a need to go outside security and have to clear again?
4. Any other advice?
Thanks in advance for the help!
With 2 hours, she should be just fine. I do this quite often with my connection being on COEx to LFT. The IAH-BTR flights are operated by COEx as well. Just make sure she knows she needs to proceed to Term B for her connecting flight to BTR via the TerminaLink above ground people mover.
